<p>The Anomify plugin sends selected performance metrics about your WordPress site to the Anomify.ai service for anomaly detection and alerting.</p>
<p>After ingesting data we learn normal patterns, detect any unusual behaviour, alert on anomalies in real time, and constantly feed back to improve the model.</p>
<p>You will need to obtain an API key and data URL from <a href="https://anomify.ai/" rel="nofollow ugc">Anomify AI</a> before the plugin can be enabled. Anomify has a free Developer account which allows up to 100 metrics.</p>
<h3>Intro</h3>
<p>Anomify AI is a UK based anomaly detection company for real time time-series data. Using machine learning and multi-stage analysis we enable organisations to react quickly to the changing health of their data at scale.</p>
<p>We provide a cost-effective anomaly detection solution, which can be deployed flexibly via the cloud or on-premise.</p>
<p>Anomify employs a semi-supervised system model that allows domain experts to directly train the system and continually improve its performance and usefulness.</p>

<p>Metrics generated from plugins are automatically prefixed with “plugin.{plugin_name}.” e.g. “plugin.woocommerce.”.</p>

</code></pre>
<p>Or to increment the metric by a value other than 1, e.g. 5, add an optional third parameter:</p>
<pre><code>do_action('anomify_increment_plugin_metric', 'my.metric.name', 5);
</code></pre>
<p>The name of your plugin will be automatically prepended to the metric name so you don’t need to include it in the name that you pass.</p>
